Chapter 681 Farewell

The carriage started again and slowly went out of the city.

The strong-dressed men wanted to stop them, but the soldiers of Pingbao City stepped forward at the same time and stopped them in front of the carriage, preventing them from approaching the carriage.

The middle-aged man in strong-dressed clothes looked very ugly. He stared at the carriage with his eyes fixed. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with the carriage. His observation ability was still good. From the ruts left on the ground after the carriage passed, he could judge that there was definitely more than one person in the carriage, otherwise, there would not be such deep ruts on the ground.

But the soldiers of Pingbao City were determined not to let the carriage be searched. They were also helpless. After all, this was Pingbao City, not Xingping City. The mayor of Pingbao City also agreed to set up checkpoints at several city gates for Zhao Qiushan's sake, but the people responsible for the inspection were still the people of Pingbao City, not outsiders like them. The mayor of Pingbao City would never give them the right to inspect.

"Don't be impulsive." The middle-aged man in strong-dressed clothes stopped his men.

This is Pingbao City. The city lord of Pingbao City is just helping them out of kindness. If they really clash with the soldiers at the city gate, they may be driven out of Pingbao City.

Under the gaze of both sides, the carriage drove out of the city.

"Can you get out of the way now?" The middle-aged man in tight clothes looked at the carriage going farther and farther away, feeling a little anxious.

"Not yet, wait a little longer." The leading lieutenant said.

"Don't go too far." The middle-aged man in tight clothes said angrily.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to chase and intercept. I won't let you succeed." The leading lieutenant said disdainfully.

"You..." The middle-aged man in tight clothes glared at the other party, but he had no way to refute. He was indeed prepared to chase and intercept, but the people in front of him obviously saw his mind and didn't give him this opportunity.

The confrontation at the city gate ended only after the carriage had been out of the city for a long time. The soldiers of Pingbao City continued to check the people coming and going, and as soon as the confrontation ended, the men in tight clothes immediately sent a team of people to chase outside the city, and the rest of the people continued to stay at the city gate.

Some distance away from Pingbao City, Wu Fan and others were saying goodbye.

"Okay, I'll take you here. You can go the rest of the way by yourself. I'll sit here for a while and go back to the city later." The old man said to Wu Fan and others.

"Thank you for your help." Wu Fan thanked him.

"It's just a little help." The old man waved his hand.

"Old man, aren't you curious about our identities?" Wu Fan couldn't help asking.

"As an old man, I don't have such great curiosity." The old man said, "But I know that you are definitely not big thieves. I still have some eyesight."

"We are indeed not big thieves." Wu Fan nodded and said, "This matter is a bit complicated and it is difficult to explain it clearly for a while."

"Then there is no need to say it." The old man said, "You should leave quickly, those people may catch up."

The "those people" mentioned by the old man are naturally those strong-suited men. He also saw that those people came for Wu Fan and others. They failed to stop the carriage at the city gate, but they believed that they would not give up easily.

Wu Fan nodded and bowed, saying, "Thank you again, we will meet again."

The old man waved to Wu Fan and others, urging them to get on the carriage and leave quickly.

Wu Fan took Wu Ya and others to the carriage, and Luo Yang was still the driver.

The carriage had just taken a few steps when Wu Fan lifted the door curtain, turned his head and looked at the old man and said loudly, "May I know your name, young master?"

"Chen Wende!" the old man replied.

"Chen Wende?" Wu Fan muttered to himself, remembering the name, then waved to the old man and got into the carriage again.

"This time, it's all thanks to the help of Grandpa Chen." Wu Ya said.

"Yes, otherwise, we can only force our way in." Wu Fan said.

It's not impossible to force our way in, but it would make too much noise and might cause unnecessary trouble.

"I don't know if Grandpa Chen will be implicated by us." Luo Yue said.

"It should be fine. I just heard from the soldiers guarding the city gate that his son was once the commander of the Pingbao City Defense Army. He must have some power in Pingbao City. Those people from Xingping City probably don't dare to do anything to him." Wu Fan said.

Wu Ya nodded and said in surprise: "I didn't expect him to have such an identity. There is not a single servant in his house, and the place he lives in is not luxurious."

Wu Fan and the others nodded. They didn't expect that the owner of a courtyard they just found would have such an identity.

"You said you knew the path leading to Fengyu City?" Wu Fan asked Wu Ya.

"Yes." Wu Ya nodded: "Although that road is a bit difficult to walk, it takes less time and not many people know it."

Wu Fan nodded: "Then let's take that road."

"Okay."

Afterwards, Wu Ya was responsible for directing Luo Yang to drive the carriage, and the group continued to rush to Fengyu City.

Not long after Wu Fan and others left, a team of cavalry caught up. These people were the guards from the City Lord's Mansion of Xingping City. The leader was the middle-aged man in tight clothes who insisted on checking the carriage before.

This group of people chased to the place where Chen Taigong and Wu Fan and others separated, and only saw Chen Taigong sitting on a big rock under a tree, with his eyes slightly closed and humming a little song.

"Hey, old man, why are you here? Where is your carriage?" A guard in the cavalry team drove up and questioned.

Chen Taigong slightly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, didn't say anything but snorted, and then closed his eyes again.

"Hey, you old man, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" Chen Taigong's attitude made the guard very angry.

"What does it have to do with you where I am? Where is my carriage, do you need to care?" Chen Taigong said with his eyes closed.

"What's your attitude? Do you believe I will whip you?" The guard raised the whip and was about to whip Chen Taigong.

"You try to hit me?" Chen Taigong was not afraid at all, his body did not move, and his eyes did not open.

"You really think I don't dare, right? I'll beat you to death!" As he said, the guard was about to whip Chen Taigong with the whip in his hand.

However, his whip did not fall on Chen Taigong in the end, because his wrist was grabbed by someone, and the person who grabbed his wrist was the middle-aged man who led the group.

The middle-aged man stopped his men's rude actions. He looked at Chen Taigong and said, "Old man, did you hide someone in your carriage just now? Where did they go? I hope you can tell me the truth."

"No one, I'm the only one in the carriage." Chen Taigong said.

"Old man, those people are all fugitives and very dangerous. We catch them to get rid of harm for the people." The middle-aged man said.

"I said, I'm the only one in the carriage, no one else, let alone the thief you want to catch." Chen Taigong said.
